First Times A Charm! Indie Success

I am a huge fan of zombie movies and have most likely seen almost everyone one filmed. This indie film was near perfection and I am extremely impressed with the acting debut and directorial debut of the people associated with this film. Dead Moon Rising has a pretty standard plot for a zombie movie which is an outbreak of a disease that brings the dead back to life with a hunger for human flesh and those still alive are just trying to survive and as for my personally I can never get tired of the same gory plot. One of the stories major successes is with the characters and how each of them have a good background and mesh well with each other, also the beautiful actresses were well cast for this indie film made the experience even better. The film itself was done on a non-existent budget and it seems partly the reason it took more of a comedy route than being mainly horror because then the production would have had to spend for special effects to make the film genuinely scary. Others have commented on how cheesy the effects were such as the intestines of victims and I believe this may have been intentional due to the budget and they were looking to make this film in a comedy/cheese effect direction which worked beautifully. As for other effects such as zombie coloration I believe they did a perfect job and sort have reminded me to one of my all time favorite zombie movies the 'original' Dawn Of The Dead where the zombies just had a simple coat of makeup to change the skin coloration and it works great. Now even though I really enjoyed this film and some people reading this might think I am being bias and saying its a total piece of perfection but they would be wrong as there were some minor improvements that could have been made such as the sound and lighting issues but really nothing is ever perfect and for this being a lot of the crew's first film I am truly impressed. This review is from a normal guy from Toronto, Canada and I have no association with the production or even the location of this film, I just genuinely enjoyed it for being a great hilarious zombie independent film with a great cheese factor and am amazed at the final product for this being a first time production for many involved. I will recommend this to friend and others as its well worth a rent. I'm also going to post on the forums how I believe internet distribution is going to make this indie film huge which is how I obtained it, as I don't want to start a whole other topic and make this review longer than it already is.

Congrats this was a great time!
